FOREWORD 

The Alabama Teachers' and Young People's Reading Circle 
had its origin in the Alabama Educational Association. While it 
was under the direction of the Association the work was a source 
of inspiration to the teachers in addition to bringing suitable 
reading material to many of the rural children of the State. It 
soon became evident, however, that the Department of Education 
should give credit on examinations for teachers' certificates for 
professional reading through this channel, and further, the work 
of the teachers' institutes could be more effectively presented 
when it could be based largely upon the professional reading rec- 
ommended to the teachers of the State. In order to make possible 
this co-ordination the Alabama Educational Association at its 
annual meeting in 1916 transferred to the State Department of 
Education the responsibility of administering the Teachers' and 
Young People's Reading Circle. 

The professional texts adopted are selected for their adapta- 
bility to conditions in our State. They are used in connection 
with the teachers' institutes and in county and group confer- 
ences ; they are also used by the State Board of Examiners as a 
basis for questions on the professional subjects. Liberal credit 
has been given to the holders of Reading Circle certificates and 
it is hoped that in the future credit may be given toward the 
renewal and extension of teachers' certificates. 

The law granting State aid for rural libraries directs the State 
Superintendent of Education, with the assistance of the Director 
of the Department of Archives and History, to compile and pub- 
lish a suitable list of books from which libraries to be purchased 
with State aid shall be selected. He is also directed to make such 
rules and regulations governing the choice, preservation and cir- 
culation of books as to make the libraries of the greatest service 
to the rural communities of the State. However, the Library 
Committee of the Alabama Educational Association has continu- 
ously rendered valuable assistance both in the selection of the 
books used for the teachers' professional reading and the Young 
People's Library lists. 

Very truly yours, 



rftfV 18 \Q\ 4 Superintendent. 






ALABAMA READING CIRCLE 



TEACHERS' COURSE 



ONE of the most helpful means of improving teachers in service is 
through a definite course of professional study which is made possible 
through a State-wide Reading Circle course. This plan is in vogue in 
practically every state in the Union, and was inaugurated in Ala- 
bama several years ago by the Alabama Educational Association. 
The Reading Circle course is emphasized at all teachers' institutes, the adopted 
books being the basis of much of the work in both departmental and general 
sessions. 

MEMBERSHIP 

As soon as a teacher enters into a contract to teach in a county, he should 
at once enroll with the superintendent for the Reading Circle work. If it is 
not feasible, however, to become a member of the local unit, this does not bar 
one from membership and receiving credit. The real test is the performance 
of the prescribed work in a satisfactory manner. No fee of any kind is re- 
quired. While it is not obligatory that the teacher purchase the books, still 
this is highly desirable as many of the practical suggestions and discussions 
given in the several texts make them of immediate service to the teacher in 
preparing the lesson plans and outlines. To be of the most practical service 
these books must be a part of each teacher's professional library. 

COUNTY WORK 

In order that the work may be properly carried on, a county organization 
must be maintained. The usual plan is for the county teachers' association to 
adopt the reading circle books as a basis of study in the monthly meetings. A 
program is arranged by a special committee which assigns the lessons and 
appoints those who are to lead in the discussions. The success of the work 
depends upon the efficiency of this committee and all assignments by the com- 
mittee should be made well in advance of the meeting. In counties where the 
roads are impassable in winter, it is wise to arrange the several districts in 
the county into a convenient number of groups. Each group should have its 
leader and he, with such assistants as he may desire, should plan the meetings 
and make the assignment of pages to be read and topics to be discussed. This 
should be done and teachers notified in ample time to make possible suitable 
preparation. No matter whether the meetings are held by the group plan or 
for the county as a whole, the sessions may be enlivened by having one or 
more schools bring exhibits of work along any special line and by making use 
of children on the program. The courtesy of free entertainment will always 
add a certain touch of pleasantness to the gathering. 

A suggestive plan for holding group conferences will be furnished by the 
Department at a later date. 

COUNTY SECRETARY 

At the beginning of the year when the superintendent has a conference 
with all his teachers or during the session of the county teachers' institute, 
there should be selected a Secretary for the Reading Circle work. This also 
may be done at the first regular meeting of the county teachers' association 
after the beginning of the school year. It is essential that the secretary of 
the Reading Circle work live near the office of the county superintendent in 
order that announcements and outlines may be sent out through his office. 
Usually it is a good plan for the assistant superintendent to hold the office of 
Reading Circle secretary. The duties of the secretary are as follows: 



ALABAMA READING CIRCLE 



1. To assist in organizing and planning the work in the county under the 
direction of the executive committee of the county teachers' association and 
the county superintendent of education. 

2. To promote the Reading Circle work throughout the county by bringing 
it to the attention of teachers and by encouraging them to enroll in the work. 

3. To assist the county superintendent of education in having a full quota 
of libraries, for which State aid is available, established in the county. 

4. To make reports of the work done to the county superintendent of edu- 
cation and to the State Department of Education. 

CERTIFICATES AND DIPLOMAS 

All certificates and diplomas are issued by the State Department of Educa- 
tion. A certificate represents the successful completion of a year's work; a 
diploma represents the satisfactory completion of four years' work. Special 
forms for making application may be had from the State Department of 
Education, or from the county superintendent of education. 

The following regulations should be kept in mind: 

1. The Reading Circle year begins July 1st and closes June 30th, following. 
However, it will not be the policy of the State Department of Education to 
issue any certificate before March 1st of any Reading Circle year. 

2. Three books must be selected from the course adopted for any Reading 
Circle year and the applicant must show that these books have been read dur- 
ing the year. 

3. Each application for a certificate must be accompanied by a brief orig- 
inal article on some subject or subjects selected from each of the three books 
read. It is contemplated that at an early date special rules and regulations 
governing the Reading Circle work will be issued. Each application must be 
approved by the county superintendent of education and the Reading Circle 
secretary. 

4. The diploma will be prepared immediately upon the issuance of four cer- 
tificates and will be forwarded promptly to the one entitled to receive the 
same. 

CREDIT BY THE STATE BOARD OF EXAMINERS 

The State Board of Examiners recognizes the fact that a Reading Circle 
certificate represents professional work that is worthy of consideration in the 
case of those making application for teachers' certificates or the renewal or 
extension of the same. 

Inasmuch as bills have been introduced in the Legislature, in session at the 
present time, changing the certification requirements, a bulletin setting forth 
the rules and regulations concerning this will be issued at the close of the 
present session of the Legislature.

ALABAMA READING CIRCLE 



THE YOUNG PEOPLE'S COURSE 



The young peoples' course presupposes that the school has a library and 
that the teacher will organize his school into a reading circle. The entire list 
of books adopted for the year beginning July 1, 1919, is given in this pamph- 
let. The list includes eighteen (18) libraries carefully graded which cost ten 
dollars ($10) each delivered, three rural high school libraries costing $15 each, 
with an additional list of miscellaneous books. The organization of the young 
people's reading circle consists simply in securing one or more of these libra- 
ries and having children read three books of their respective grades. The 
children do not buy the books but the school supplies them and they may be 
read in school or at home. 

CERTIFICATES AND DIPLOMAS 

A certificate is granted to the pupil for the reading of any three books of 
the same grade, provided only one certificate is granted during one year. The 
certification of the pupil is left entirely with the teacher, blank certificates 
being furnished by the State Department of Education upon request. When 
a pupil has earned four certificates he will be entitled to a diploma. This will 
be issued from the State Department of Education upon the submission of the 
proper evidence that the pupil has done the four years' work. 

TEACHERS' RESPONSIBILITY 

The teacher must be the moving spirit in the young people's circle, both 
in the securing of the library and inspiring the children to read. Given a wide- 
awake teacher, the problem is solved. The ten dollars ($10) to be given by the 
community may be raised in many ways, such as library day, private sub- 
scription, library fee, entertainments, etc. It is hoped that every teacher in 
the State will secure a library for his school. 

STATE AID IN SECURING LIBRARIES 

The text of the library law may be found in the Alabama School Laws 
and is not reprinted here. The thorough articulation of the reading circle 
work, the institute work, the work of the Board of Examiners, and the estab- 
lishment of libraries necessitates some changes in the plan for making effect- 
ive the Alabama library law, and teachers are urged to read carefully the 
suggestions which follow, in order that they may be spared any inconvenience 
or disappointment. 

It should be borne in mind that the law specifically limits aid to rural, 
town and village schools and that no school located in a town or city of more 
than one thousand inhabitants can get help from the State, and then only 
after the community has raised ten dollars ($10), which amount must be 
duplicated by the county before application may be made to the State for aid. 
This will mean a unity of effort which will be wholesome. 

SUGGESTIONS AND PLANS FOR ESTABLISHING LIBRARIES 

Under the law ten libraries may be established each year in each of the 
several counties of the State. 

While teachers are expected to take the initiative in arousing local inter- 
est in the establishment of libraries, through State and county aid, in large 
numbers of the school districts the members of women's clubs and of the 
women's patriotic societies will be found ready either to lead in such a move- 
ment or else to co-operate cordially. It is confidently expected that there will 
be a generous rivalry throughout the several counties in the number of appli- 
cations for libraries. 



ALABAMA READING CIRCLE 



Before attempting to raise funds there should be a campaign on the sub- 
ject of libraries, books and reading. The teacher should first of all visit the 
local trustees, and explain to them the great advantages which will result 
both to the school and to the community from the establishment of a library 
in the school. The leading men and women of the community or district 
should also be visited. Daily talks should be made to the school children, in 
which they should be asked to speak to their parents and friends of the libra- 
ry plans. The teacher might also write occasional articles to the county news- 
papers presenting the special advantages schools with libraries enjoy. 

After the interest of the community has been properly aroused, plans for 
raising the funds should be put into effect. 

HOW TO SECURE LIBRARIES WITH STATE AID 

(The plans suggested below should be followed to the letter) 

1. Patrons or friends of the school raise ten dollars ($10) and place the 
same in the hands of the teacher. 

2. The teacher prepares an order for not less than thirty dollars ($30) 
worth of books on the order blank and from the lists found in this booklet and 
places the same, together with the ten dollars ($10) raised for the school in 
the hands of the county superintendent of education, taking his receipt 
therefor. 

3. The county superintendent of education must, within ten days, certify 
to the court of county commissioners or board of revenue the fact of said de- 
posit and request action thereon. 

4. After favorable action has been taken, the county superintendent must 
deposit the ten dollars ($10) paid over to him by the teacher and the ten dol- 
lars ($10) appropriated by the county with the county treasurer of public 
school funds. 

5. Thereupon certificates A, B, C and D, found on the application for aid, 
are properly filled and sent to the State Superintendent of Education at Mont- 
gomery. 

6. Upon receipt of the above certificates, the State Superintendent of 
Education makes requisition upon the State Auditor for the State's ten dol- 
lars ($10). 

7. When the State warrant is issued, the State Superintendent of Educa- 
tion directs Loveman, Joseph & Loeb to ship the library books and supplies, as 
originally ordered by the teacher, and transmits a warrant to the county 
treasurer of public school funds, sending a copy of the letter accompanying 
the warrant to the county superintendent of education. 

8. Loveman, Joseph & Loeb fills the order, in full, and sends the itemized 
bill to the county treasurer of public school funds. 

9. A duplicate itemized bill is sent to the teacher of the school to which 
the books are shipped and with a card, "Form A," addressed to the county 
treasurer of public school funds. 

10. The teacher, after examining the books received and finding them as 
ordered, immediately signs and mails the card, "Form A," addressed to the 
county treasurer of public school funds. 

11. Upon receipt of the card bearing the signature of the teacher, the 
county treasurer of public school funds is authorized to pay the bill of Love- 
man, Joseph & Loeb. 

SELECTION OF BOOKS 

In this pamphlet will be found listed eighteen elementary school libraries, 
three rural high school libraries, and list of miscellaneous books, from which 
all orders for libraries with State aid must be selected. A school securing 
thirty dollars ($30) may spend the entire amount for three elementary school 
libraries, or for two high school libraries; or it may purchase one elementary 



ALABAMA READING CIRCLE 



school library and one high school library, and select from the miscellaneous 
list to the amount of the remaining 1 five dollars; or it may make any other 
combination of libraries, and books selected from the miscellaneous list; or it 
may spend the entire amount for books selected promiscuously from the sev- 
eral libraries and from the miscellaneous list. 

While the law permits the school to spend a part of the first $30 raised for 
a bookcase, it is seldom wise to do so. A special effort should be made to raise 
an additional $17.50 with which to purchase the book-case and thus permit the 
use of the whole of the $30 in the purchase of books. In no case will an ap- 
plication for a library be approved unless it is stated that a book case has al- 
ready been installed or an order for the same accompanies the application. 

It is undoubtedly wise, as a rule, and more especially in the case of those 
purchasing libraries for the first time, to buy the books in sets, inasmuch as 
the literature is not only graded, but the subject matter of the books is prop- 
erly balanced. 

RECORD BOOKS 

The Department of Education has adopted forms for a register of books 
purchased, and a register of loans and circulation. These books are made 
necessary, in order that an accurate record may be kept. Arrangements have 
been made with Loveman, Joseph & Loeb, Birmingham, Ala., to supply them, 
neatly bound, at fifty cents each. They must be ordered with the first library. 
(See Rule 7 on page 8 of this pamphlet.) 

Do not buy any books from agents, even with outside funds. The prices 
for such books, even if for other reasons they are desirable, are usually very 
unreasonable. For the same amount many and infinitely more valuable books 
can be had. If the school has any patron or friend desiring to make a book 
donation, let the selection come from the Alabama Library List. 

LIBRARY REGULATIONS 

In order that the purpose of the library law may not be thwarted it is 
necessary that the utmost care be taken to safeguard the books. The school 
trustee should see to it that a suitable and substantial bookcase is provided 
and the teacher should see to it that the books are properly used and handled. 
The exercise of care in installing and keeping the library is absolutely essen- 
tial. 

All persons connected in any way with the management or use of the 
libraries are urged, therefore, rigidly to follow these regulations: 

1. The library shall consist of the books, bookcase, registers and other 
equipment, which may be had or secured under the provisions of the rural 
school library law, or which may from time to time be added thereto. 

2. "The local trustees of the school shall constitute a library board 
charged with the administration of the library as other school property, and 
they are hereby charged with the same care and attention in connection there- 
with as of the school grounds, the school building or buildings, and the school 
equipment." They are also charged with the duty of seeing that the rules 
herein provided are carried out, and to that end they may specially require 
the cooperation of the teacher. 

3. The local trustees shall select the librarian or custodian, who shall be 
the teacher, if he or she will consent to act, and they shall see that the rules 
prescribed herein are carried out, but if the librarian is other than the 
teacher, such person shall be under the direction of the teacher as the repre- 
sentative of the. trustees. 

4. In the event the teacher consents to act as librarian, he or she shall 
have authority to appoint an assistant or assistants, whose duty it shall be to 
aid in the performance of the duties of librarian. 

5. The duties of the librarian are the care and custody of the books, their 
entry in the register of books purchased, the note of proper record in the reg- 



ALABAMA READING CIRCLE 



ister of loans and circulation, the assessment of fines, the careful repair of 
worn, torn or mutilated books, the making of all reports which may be re- 
quired, and the diligent effort to make the library a vital and constructive 
force in the school and the school district. All records are to be kept in ink. 

6. The local trustees shall provide a suitable bookcase, or bookcases, with 
lock and key, for the preservation of the library. . 

7. They shall provide a register of books purchased, and a register of loans 
and circulation. 

8. As soon as received the books shall be listed by the librarian in the 
register of books purchased, care being taken that all blanks shall be filled. 

9. In each book shall be entered, on the inside cover and in the following 
order, name of the county, name and number of the school, cost of book, date 
of the purchase, library number (or number in miscellaneous book list), and 
the number as listed in the register of books purchased. 

10. All pupils of the school and patrons of the school district are entitled 
to the free privileges of the library. Parents or guardians are responsible for 
the care of the books in the hands of their children or wards, and for the fines 
which may be imposed hereunder. Books taken out by pupils are to be charged 
to their parents or guardians. 

11. Only one book at a time shall be allowed to any pupil or patron. 

12. A book may be retained as a loan for one week, with the privilege of 
renewal for one week and no longer. 

13. No borrower shall have the privilege of lending, outside of his own 
home, a book drawn from the library. 

14. Every book loaned, at the time taken out, shall be entered by the 
librarian in a register of loans and circulation, with date, number, title, to 
whom delivered, to whom charged; and when returned, upon the same record 
must be noted the date, condition, and fines assessed for over-time or for in- 
jury, if any, with the fact of payment or nonpayment. 

15. On the return of books to the library, they shall be carefully examined 
by the librarian, who shall assess and note on the register the fines, if any, 
hereinafter fixed, and the collection thereof. 

16. The use of the library is free. 

17. For failure to return books on time, for loss or injury, or other viola- 
tion of the rules and regulations, fines are fixed as follows: 

a. One cent for each day after the date for return, unless renewed. 

b. For loss of a volume, the cost thereof; and if one of a set, a sum suffi- 
cient to replace it, or to purchase a new set. 

c. For a leaf or leaves torn out, or for soiling the book, or any of the 
leaves, so as to render it unsuitable for circulation, to be judged by the libra- 
rian an amount not to exceed the cost of the book. 

d. For any injury beyond ordinary wear, a sum equivalent to the damage, 
to be estimated by the librarian. 

e. Should a book be retained four weeks by a borrower and not returned, 
it shall be deemed lost, and the cost of the book shall be assessed as a fine; 
but such fine may be readjusted on the basis of one cent a day, if the book be 
later returned in good condition. 

f . Any pupil or patron in arrears for fines shall be denied the privilege of 
the library until the same shall be paid in full. 

18. All fines collected are to be applied to replacing lost volumes, and to 
keeping in repair worn or mutilated books. 

19. On request the teacher as librarian shall make a written report to the 
local trustees on any matters connected with the condition or administration 
of the library. 

20. Once each year, or within ten days after the close of the school term, 
the teacher as librarian shall make a report in writing to the State Depart- 
ment of Education on the regular form for this purpose.
